AN alleged people smuggler arrested as part of a nationwide crackdown by federal police is demanding to see the records of interviews with every person he is accused of illegally transporting to Australia.

Barkat Ali Wahide was one of five men arrested late last month as part of Operation Delphinium, which saw agents descend on immigration centres and residential addresses in Victoria, South Australia, Western Australia and NSW to make multiple arrests.

The AFP said they intended to target the kingpins of people-smuggling syndicates involved in the planning or facilitation of up to 132 illegal boats bound for Australia.

Wahide appeared in Perth Magistrate's Court today flanked by three Serco security guards who had accompanied him from the city's nearby immigration detention centre.

Chief magistrate Stephen Heath was told Wahide's defence team were requesting the Department of Immigration and Customs hand over the record of interview with each of the people who arrived on SIEV 326 at Christmas Island in May 2012.

Mr Heath was also told Wahide's legal team would also be seeking access to the police interview with Syed Shahid-Ali, who was also arrested as part of the AFP operation, and is being detained at the Inverbrackie Immigration Detention Centre in Adelaide.

Wahide is charged with two counts of facilitating the unlawful entry of a second person to Australia.

Mr Heath adjourned the case until December, and said the defence requests may well be granted but prosecutors needed a chance to finalise their case before the disclosure of interview material was considered in detail.
